full time instrument: Follow me on twitter!I am not a new twitter user...

Not sure how many of you use TWITTER, but if you do and wonder how it could be used in teaching, this is a really nice find by Buket Cam, one of the teachers-in-training in the ELT programme at METU that I follow. If you have no idea about TWITTER and are curious, then this is a good introduction.

I've been trying to use TWITTER for a couple of years now--I have been making use of it to build my personal learning network, but I haven't yet been effective in using it in teaching. The video that Buket found gives me some inspiration to keep trying. :) If you have experiences to share about your use of social media in general, or TWITTER in specific, please comment. Here is the link to Buket's post.

Dindy, in fact, social media allows me to keep abreast of what's happening in a very efficient manner. It can actually save time by making it easy to follow people I am interested in, and often gives me ideas or tips that can save a lot of time in the long term. But it is a matter of getting used to it.
